Annual Report
Success in protecting,
managing, and using Ohio’s soil, water, and land resources is a
real team effort.
In
this year’s annual report we want to recognize
that success ultimately boils down to conscientious efforts made by
individual people. People who realize that even as a user of our
natural resources, they must also be a steward of those resources.
We are privileged to be able
to work with so many conscientious people, in rural and agricultural
areas, and in every community in Ohio, urban and rural. We work hard
to make our assistance helpful and meaningful. We feel fortunate to
be on your team. Click here to
